Joe Ferriso grew up in Long Island, New York. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2003 from The Cooper Union and his Master of Fine Arts in 2018 from Stanford University. From 2010 to 2015, he co-founded and worked at Anzfer Farms, an experimental furniture studio. Ferriso’s artwork is primarily concerned with color relationships as they relate to our built environment, taking inspiration from Sea Ranch, California where he lives.
